The current solitary mod of [email protected] (@qua) has not responded after 21 days of our reaching out to them. They have not been active on Lemmy.world since August 22, 2023.

Please reassign the community to myself (@[email protected]) and @[email protected].

Thank you!

Pretty much any post on Lemmy is missing comments and they never show up no matter what I do. Sometimes I can fidget with the sorting, clicking "New" and "chat" and one or two may show up, but not all. I am guaranteed if a thread has X comments, only a fraction of those are visible to me. It sucks to see on one of my posts that I have 10 comments, but can only see 3, for example.

Also, sometimes I get a reply from someone that I can read in my inbox, but when I click to go to the original thread, it's not there.

I really like Lemmy, but this annoys the hell out of me and I don't understand why it is happening.

Edit: To clarify, I am using the Lemmy.World default web interface in the LibreWolf browser.

Thanks @NiaTheCat!

It was a Bot account. I much have blocked bots after it sent the message.

EDIT: As noted in the linked post, the defederation was a mistake and has been reversed. Thank you to the lemmy.world admins for reviewing this quickly.

I'm not a lemmy.world user, so I'm not directly affected by this defederation. I am a fan of both anime and the fediverse in general though, so I'm concerned about an apparent crackdown on my hobby and by what seems to be an increasingly damaging flaw in the fediverse model.

A few days ago. lemmy.ml defederated from ani.social, a lemmy instance specialized in anime. The only explanation given by Dessalines (lead dev of lemmy, owner of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml) was that it was "full of CSAM". As far as anyone who's commented can tell, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of this whatsoever (see post link for an overview of the discussions). The only CSAM here appears to be in Dessalines' head.

That defederation was annoying, but not all that surprising. Dessalines and his fellow lead dev Nutomic are tankies, and tankies often seem to have a weird hatred of anime fans. The two of them have a history of making self-marginalizing decisions, so the obvious course of action is to just point them out so that people gradually abandon lemmy.ml, and hopefully eventually fork the lemmy codebase.

However, today I found out that lemmy.world had also defederated ani.social, again with no evidence presented for the decision. It looks like the LW admins are just rubber-stamping the bad decision of the lemmy.ml admins, without bothering to investigate at all.

We really can't afford to have the most popular lemmy instance behaving like this. The LW admin team has generally shown more professionalism in that past, so what gives?

creator @[email protected] has been offline longer than they were online. i messaged him a few times and he seemed pretty acquiescent, but i have messaged him since and he hasn't responded

i only want to fix the sidebar links format, and remove dead ones and redirect some to their new home; and add a banner and icon

i don't want to replace the original mod though, and will hand the community back if he ever comes back

Works now.

UPDATE: This has been resolved as of August 19, 2023

I’m sure I sound like a broken record at this point, but is there any word on the federation issues between lemmy.world and Instances like fanaticus.social? Seems it’s been 3-4 weeks since posts/comments federated properly between those two.

I know there has been a lot going on over the last month, and this is probably low on the priority list, but I don’t think I’ve seen it formally addressed here.
